ALGAE PRODUCTS

Why Algae?

Nutraceuticals

Animal Feed

With up to 70% protein content and a rich amino acid profile, algae can satisfy the needs of large-scale agri- and aquaculture

Industrial

Almost any hydrocarbon-based product – for example biofuels or cosmetics – can be produced from an algae feedstock

Why Pond?

Clean — Unlike in large, open ponds, we grow algae in a fully sealed, closely monitored environment. This prevents contamination from outside sources like acid rain, radiation, floods, or birds and other wildlife.

Other valuable compounds produced by algae include lutein, beta-glucans, and omega-3-fatty acids

The rise in consumer awareness towards pollution and personal health is driving demand for green products:

Biofoams used in apparel & footwear

Biodegradable plastic containers used in food & beverage

Organic cosmetics from natural ingredients

Algae biomass can serve as a green feedstock for petroleum derivatives like:

Biofuels

Bioplastics

Industrial lubricants

Green chemicals

Cosmetics

and more

The Algae Market

Substantial

$35 (USD) billion market – projected to be $45 billion by 2023

Picking Up Steam

5.2% CAGR

Global

Producers and users on every continent with Europe leading adoption

Untapped Potential

Algae products sell into market sectors with a combined global value of over $1 trillion, growing at an estimated 6.3% per year

Growing Algae

When we think of algae, most of us are reminded with large algal blooms in warm summer lakes, or the green film that we struggle to remove from our pools. Algae generally require light, CO2, and the right level of nutrients to conduct photosynthesis and grow.

Our system imitates and optimizes these growth conditions, in a sense, inducing an algal bloom in a contained environment. We work with emitters and our partners at Natural Resources Canada to find the right growth conditions for the algae, as every industrial site emits a unique mix of gases.

So far, we have farmed three species at scale: Chlorella(Chlorella vulgaris), Spirulina(Arthrospira platensis), and Astaxanthin(Haematococcus pluvialis). Aside from these, our system allows us to grow any other algal strain.

Algae Processing

Once the algae grow at a satisfactory rate, it is harvested, separated, dried, and processed further, depending on the final product. Dried algae can be stored for up to 24 months and shipped in bulk. Of course, all Pond bioreactors are frequently inspected by the respective regulatory agencies and tested for quality by third parties.
